Proving Her Wrong

Chapter 39

Alina woke hearing her door open. "Ali?" She rolled from her side onto her stomach and slowly opened her eyes to see Melisma standing beside the bed.

"Melisma?" she whispered as she scooted over to her. Raven was still asleep in the bed, so she assumed it was Victor in the shower she heard running. "What's wrong?"

"Me wake up nap. Paint wif me?" she whispered excitedly.

"You know what?" Alina whispered back smiling.

"What?"

"That sounds like the perfect thing right now," Alina whispered. She yawned making Melisma giggled, "Why don't you go get everything set up while I go potty and I'll meet you there, okay?"

"Otay," Melisma beamed as she rushed out of the room.

Alina dropped her head into the pillows to muffle her groans. Her thoughts were beginning to race. "Was that Little One I heard?" Alina lifted her head to see Victor coming over to her with a towel wrapped around his waist as he towel-dried his hair. She nodded and he smirked. "You can play some more later, Princess, but I really must get ready for a meeting."

She rolled her eyes and sat up, "Where are my pants?"

"Hey," Victor sat down on the bed beside her, "You okay, Princess?"

"I'm fine," she said as she moved to get off the bed.

Victor grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his lap. "What's wrong, Princess?" he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her temple.

"Nothing," she said looking around the room.

"Kitten nyet use affection," Raven yawned as he sat up and stretched.

"Oh," Victor smiled. "Well, we will try our best to ease you into it, Princess."

"I need to get dressed, Melisma is waiting," she said trying to get off his lap.

"In just a few," Victor smiled. "I'm going to be gone from you for hours, I need some cuddles to help me cope being away from you."

"You're ridiculous," she mumbled as she watched Raven take her hand and intertwine their fingers then begin rubbing his thumb over the top of her hand. Her body started to relax into Victor's, making him smile gently over her head at Raven.

Her door opened, making her tense up. "Calm the fuck down Trouble," Gabe chuckled as he walked over to them. "Here are you some clean fucking comfy clothes, and Meli is putting her paint clothes and apron on now."

"Okay," she mumbled nervously.

"So fucking cute," Gabe chuckled as he kissed her forehead.

Victor's phone started beeping making him groan, "Alright Princess, I absolutely have to go now, as much as I don't want to," he mumbled into her hair. "I'll be home for dinner."

"Okay," she said as Gabe pulled her into a standing position.

"I go get Kitten snacks," Raven smiled as he got out of the bed.

"Can I just wear this shirt?" she asked softly.

"Da," Raven beamed.

"If that's what you fucking want," Gabe nodded. "Damn Raven," Gabe said looking at his chest.

"Oh sorry Yevgeny," she gasped seeing the large bruise from her biting him.

"Nyet," Raven shook his head grinning.

"It looks fucking awesome," Gabe nodded then turned to her. "I can't wait to get mine." He bent down and helped her slide on some sweat pants then stood and pulled her hair into a quick braid. "There, fucking perfect for a lazy day with the family." He smiled proud of himself plus cherishing the fact she let him dress her.

"Here's Kitten," Raven said as he walked her into the living room.

"Ali!" Melisma ran over to her and hugged her tightly. "Come on, let's paint!"

"Okay," Alina giggled softly as Melisma pulled her away from Raven and over to the little art area.

"I be back with snack, Kitten," Raven said pulling on her braid so she looked up at him.

"Okay, Raven," She huffed as she pulled her hair away from him.

"What?" He growled gripping her hair again.

"You heard me," She glared. "Let go, Raven."

"Kitten," he warned.

"Let go, Raven," she warned back. He growled and she grabbed the scissors out of the drawer in the desk next to her.

"NO!" Gabe shouted in a panic. "Raven let go this instant, I swear to fucking god if she cuts her hair I will make you fucking pay!"

"Yes, Raven, be a good little boy and let go," She smirked.

"You know I nyet small," he growled as he pulled her close to him. "Remind you?"

"Nyet," She smirked. "I'm busy trying to paint with Melisma but you are interrupting our time."

"Address me correctly, Kitten," Raven growled.

"Fine, Dimitri," she said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes.

"Alina Marie," He warned.

She huffed in annoyance, "Why does it matter so much that I call you by your first name when you don't allow anyone else, Raven?"

"What did I tell you we meet?" Raven asked glaring at her.

"What?" Luke asked curiously.

"Raven told her something regarding his first name the first time I introduced her to the family," Marc smiled waiting for her to remember.

She thought about it then gasped softly as she, "you said the only person that gets to call you by your first name is your wife so she knows how special she is to you and I said she will have to deal with the fact she won't be the only special girl in your life because I claim the right to call you by your first name also as your little sister."

"And?" Raven asked smirking as he tightened his grip on her hip.

"You said if I take your fruit cup then I get the right to be only person in the world to call you by your first name and I said I refuse to take your fruit cup because I will never marry since no one could handle me and I don't believe in love, but I still claim the right to call you by your first name."

"And?" He pressed.

She huffed and rolled her eyes, "You said fine I can call you by your first name as long as I understand that one day I would be yours and I was such a cute little kitten I told you that you were insane."

"Guess what, Kitten?" he chuckled. "We finally got you. Now say it."

"You are absolutely insane Yevgeny Dimitri Ravenstahl, do you know that?" She glared. "Now LET GO!"

"Da Wife," he chuckled as he kissed her softly then let go of her hair while taking the scissors from her and putting them back in the desk casually.

"Give me a goddamn heart attack," Gabe mumbled as he quickly grabbed the scissors.

"Stubborn," she rolled her eyes making Raven chuckled.

"Cute Brat," he threw back then burst out laughing as she stuck her tongue out at him.

"So worth me being late to my meeting," Victor chuckled as he shook his head. "I'll be home for dinner, okay?" he asked Alina and Melisma as he kissed them on top of their heads then rushed out the door.

"Come on, Ali," Melisma said pulling on her hand.

Alina sat down at the table and picked up a paintbrush, "What are we painting today?" she asked focusing entirely on Melisma.

A couple of minutes later Alina's phone started ringing. "This is Alina Medina," she said not recognizing the number on the screen. "Excuse me?" She asked confused. Her whole body tensed up catching everyone's attention except Melisma. "I'm sorry I don't have good signal, did you say a job opportunity and they specifically requested me?"
